At least the second year in a row that I'm seething at the broadcast referring to the players as "property" of organizations.

Yeah, I cringed every time he said that. You'd think a producer might mention not to use that term.

Where the horsefeathers is Jose Albertos

[NOLA]

Eloy in the game now and coming up to bat.

RBI double down the line and scored on a single

[UMFan83]

Omg he just made a fantastic catch leaping acrobatically over the railing and hung on. Hard to describe but it was a fantastic catch

[UMFan83]

Nice!

[NOLA]

Nice!

Eloy!!!!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I was coming in here to post about Mark Prior being the US pitching coach but screw that. Eloy with a MONSTER home run! Third deck of the Western Metal Supply building.

[UMFan83]

He's gotta be the MVP of this game

Not only that, but it wasn't some moonshot. It was practically a line drive that would have killed someone trying to catch it.

[Liam Neeson]

Eloy was robbed

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Moncada is MVP?

So I just went through a bit more thorough of a reordering of my prospect list. I feel pretty good about all the guys 1-13, but I think things are pretty much a mess once you get past there.

 

1. Willson Contreras

2. Ian Happ

3. Eloy Jimenez

4. Albert Almora

5. Gleyber Torres

6. Carl Edwards Jr.

7. Dylan Cease

8. Mark Zagunis

9. Jeimer Candelario

10. Dan Vogelbach

11. Victor Caratini

12. Billy McKinney

13. Eddy Julio Martinez

[TruffleShuffle]

I'm this close to saying horsefeathers it and just ranking Eloy first. I'm all in on him.

By the way, that home run was a 19 year old turning on a 95mph fastball and belting it more than 400 feet.

Not that our prospect rankings matter at all now, but we're going to take a serious hit. Contreras, Almora, and Edwards are going to graduate and we'll lose others at the deadline too. Our year end lists are going to be interesting.

[PackLandVA]

Can he hit a curve? Or lay off the slider down and away? Jorge wants to know.

I'm beginning to think that my optimism about DJ Wilson and Kevonte Mitchell coming into this year may have been unfounded.
